im starting to think that a two layer truggy style chassis for you would have been better asyou have two levels to fit stuff too... Do you get what i am saying?

You know the savage truggy project going on in the other forum? Imagine a flat bed underneath for just the lipos and the centre diff and drive shafts. And then a second plate on top where the Motor sits on the centre diff, and your large esc has a nice spot to mount as well as all your other electronics? It will give easy access for working on etc...

Just a thought... im not correcting your current design or anything as it would be much stronger than any flat chassis
